Spectacularly boring, realised I just didn't have the willpower or the interest

adventurous tense medium-paced

This was a big step up from Iron Flame. The plot was more focused, for the most part. The characters were less annoying, for the most part. I think this series is the Taylor Swift of the genre - I can't really say why I enjoy it so much, it isn't particularly outstanding writing or storytelling, but it keeps me engaged and entertained and I'm excited for the next one already. I appreciate the cliff hangers and I'm looking forward to hearing different theories about the ending.

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The first half of this book was sooooo slow, but at the 50% mark it picked up, thank the gods. I think the side characters and minor characters still are not getting much love or "screen time" three books in, so when a certain character dies or betrays someone, it is less impactful because I am googling who they are as I cannot remember. I think that is also a problem because there are so many characters, dragons, signets, gryphons, venin etc. My brain does not have enough internal storage to keep it all in.

Still, the second half was engaging, and there are intriguing threads for the next book, though with the long wait ahead I am bound to forget most of it.
